Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

After Nancy’s father dies, she is faced with two life-changing revelations.

One: She has a half-brother she knew nothing about.

Nancy’s world is punched inside out at the discovery of a mysterious new sibling. But she can’t help but feel curious about Oliver, this stranger who shares her DNA. Her sister Rita, on the other hand, is furious and wants nothing to do with their ‘cuckoo’ brother.

Two: She’s pregnant.

The father – Nancy’s not-quite-boyfriend from her not-quite-relationship – doesn’t want to commit any time soon. He isn’t even in the same continent as her right now. And with her mother and sister in shock about Oliver, Nancy’s struggling to find someone to turn to for support.

In a tumult of grief, fear and hope, Nancy pushes herself into an uncertain future as she rethinks what really makes a family. But there’s one more thought in the back of her head…

Is there space in her family for two more?

Great Story read by the author

I received a physical proof of this and was keen to listen to the audiobook too. I liked that it was read by the author, I always hear so much passion when it is there own writing.

The story followed Nancy and her family dramas of her dad dying and finding out she had a brother in New Zealand along with finding out that she was pregnant.

I enjoyed the way the characters were written as I found myself really disliking a character in one chapter then loving them in another which I guess is how you can feel in real life about members of your own family.

The flow of the story was great and the pacing was also good.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes books they can relate to and I think most people can relate to some form of family drama 😂
